astec help, again :(

Hey guys, I had to factory reset my Astec fusion alarm as it was causing issues. I re programmed the zones under "Zone Types" but not, when the alarm is armed and a zone is opened the system is not recognising that the zone was opened. No wiring was changed in the panel. Is there a setting I could have forgotten?

I literally went to the zones section, set each zone back to either entry/exit or alarm


Thanks

Are you sure this is an Astec system you have?
Zone types are not set up like that on Astec.
If its Aritech then by default zone 1 is entry exit & 2-6 are alarm.
If you are using shock sensors on zone 1 - 4 the gross 7 pulse will need to be programmed. By default they will be set at 0-0 which is off.

Yep 100% sure. It's an Astec Fusion.

Here is the steps I have taken. (Pictures in dropbox link below)

Step 1) Enter Engineer Mode:
2) Go to "Zone" Menu
3) Go to "Setup Zones"
4) Program each zone to it's type.

(The way the original installer had them)

Did I miss something? I think it's setup the way it should be.

Sorry, missed the fusion bit in the first post.:o Was at Keith Barry last night, I think my brain was hacked.:D

Is the zone hardware set up correctly? end of line or Astec System Devices?
Are you checking these devices with full alarm activations or walk test?
There is a setting to turn on bells for walk test?
Also are the internal and external bells set up correctly ? Global or Astec bells?

DJMG92

Haha, that's a good excuse!

As far as I know, they are end of line, the bells are global. They work fine.

Tested strobe, external and internal. All OK.

What should I put under Zone hardware if they are global devices?

Here's a pic of the shock and a pir, might give you a idea.

I tried with a walk test and full arm, still no joy on both

The PiRs appear to be standard so they would be set according to the end of line resistors used,if any .
If all your window/door sensors are like that the zone hardware need to be set as Astec.

Koolkid, you are a legend!

It's fixed now. I forgot the zone hardware part!

Thank you so much!
